Vehicle Description
Pedigree Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful 1979
Mercedes-Benz 450SEL. For details and information contact Ken Baker
at 561-866-1601. Regarded as the finest quality, safest, and most
advanced luxury sedan of its time, the W116 body Mercedes-Benz was
the pinnacle of automotive engineering and prestige in the 1970s.
Few of these magnificent sedans still remain, and fewer are of the
quality of the one presented here. This Astral silver with Grey
velour 450SEL has only 50,000 miles. Reportedly, only 10 of these
cars were imported into the US in 1979 with the factory velour
interior. This one was also specified to have the optional and
desirable rear seat headrest. This highly original example has had
one high quality repaint that was performed in the last couple of
years. Inside the factory valour interior is beautiful. There is no
cracking on any of the door panels or dashboard. The seat material
has held up beautifully over the last 38 years, and the seats are
still firm and supportive. The wood veneer on the dash and center
consol is still beautiful and impressive. Driving this 450SEL is an
absolute pleasure. The engine is strong and smooth and makes
excellent power and torque. The transmission shifts beautifully and
is very responsive. Every function in this car works exactly as it
should. The air-conditioning blows cold and hard through the center
events with no vacuum leaks. Every light works and all of the
gauges are crystal-clear. All of the windows, door locks, and
sunroof are all functioning as designed. The Becker radio performs
as good as it looks, even the lighting functions as it should and
the electric antenna works perfectly. Surprisingly, even the
factory cruise control still works. This for 450SEL turns head
everywhere it goes. It's new proud owner will enjoy taking it out
on the weekend drives or showing it. As with all of our cars at
